Home Inspections

Servicing the Greater Denver Metro in Colorado

Your builder’s warranty is about to run out.
Most homeowners don’t think twice about it.

That’s a mistake.

Because once that warranty expires… so does your leverage.

At Piney Peak Inspections, we help you catch what’s changed, shifted, or failed — before you’re the one paying for it.

What’s Included in Your Inspection

We evaluate all major systems and components of your home, looking for defects, wear, or improper installation:

  • Roofing & exterior components
  • Foundation & structural elements
  • Attic, insulation & ventilation
  • Plumbing systems
  • Electrical systems
  • HVAC systems
  • Windows, doors & seals
  • Interior surfaces (walls, ceilings, floors)
  • Built-in appliances

You’ll receive a detailed digital report that’s easy to understand and ready to hand off to your builder:

  • Clear photos and video evidence
  • Color-coded summaries
  • Straightforward explanations
  • Organized list of concerns

No fluff. No confusion. Just a clean list of what needs attention.

What is a Warranty Expiration Inspection?

Also known as an 11-month inspection, this service is designed for homeowners approaching the end of their builder’s 1-year warranty.

Over the first year, your home settles. Materials expand and contract. Systems get used for the first time.

That’s when issues start to show up.

We perform a full home inspection to identify anything that should be addressed by your builder — while it’s still their responsibility.

Sewer Scopes, Radon & Add-On Services

Some issues aren’t visible without specialized tools. Depending on your home, we may recommend:

  • Sewer scope inspections
  • Radon testing
  • Mold testing
  • Free thermal imaging

These can uncover hidden problems like sewer line defects, air leaks, or moisture intrusion — things your builder definitely needs to address before the warranty ends.

Why a Warranty Inspection Matters

Here’s the the reality: most builder warranties cover defects — but only if you report them in time.
A third-party inspection protects you by:

  • Catch issues before coverage expires
  • Document problems clearly for your builder
  • Avoid out-of-pocket repair costs later
  • Protect your investment long-term

Skip this, and you could be paying for repairs that should’ve been covered.

Colorado Homes Shift – It’s Normal

In Colorado, homes go through a lot in the first year:

  • Soil expansion and settling
  • Freeze/thaw cycles
  • High UV exposure
  • Dry air and humidity swings

Small cracks, shifting, or system strain can show up — and some of it is fixable under warranty if caught early.

Who This Inspection Is For

This service is ideal for:

  • Homeowners approaching their 11-month warranty mark
  • Buyers of newly built homes within their first year
  • Anyone wanting peace of mind before warranty expiration

If your warranty is within 1–2 months of expiring, now is the time.

What a Home Inspection Is (and Isn’t)

A new build inspection is a visual, non-invasive evaluation of the home’s condition at the time of inspection.

It is not:

  • A code compliance inspection
  • A warranty
  • A guarantee of future performance

It’s a clear, professional assessment — so you can take action while you still can.
